1991 World Series, Game 7, on now

I dunno, something nice and close and heartbreaking would also be acceptable, especially if it's Favre that costs them.

 

Do you like the Brewers, too?

 

I was in ninth grade when this game was played. I have been a Bills fan since I knew what a football was. I was watching this game live. At the time, I had a weekend job cleaning the doctor's office where my mom worked. It usually took a couple hours to do and I could do it either Saturday or Sunday. Well, at the half, I got my dad to drive me to the office because I was so pissed.

He picked me up, I asked "Well, how bad was it?"

He answered, "You don't want to know."

I asked, "That bad?"

He said, "The Bills came back to win."

I was even more pissed - because I missed that comeback.

I swore never to leave or stop watching a game early again. And I'm pretty good about that now, especially when in attendance. Although, I left a Reds game early once - one of only two games I've ever left early since - and I missed Jose Rijo's return.

 

Have a similar story. I, as a 15-year-old boy, was at my grandmother's house watching the game while my parents were away for the weekend. At halftime, I laid on the couch and took a nap. ... woke up when Christie was kicking the game-winning field goal. I had missed it all.

 

There was no World Series in 1984

 

After Bubba McDowell's interception return made it 35-3, I made a run to Burger King. For some reason, maybe there was another stop in there, it took an hour to get home. I walked in the living room right before the Bills scored to go ahead 38-35. My dad just had this incredulous look on his face like he couldn't believe what had happened.

 

I watched the 98 NFC championship followed by 1991 WS Game 6 yesterday. No, the outcomes didn't change, but I've spent worse afternoons. The Falcons-Vikings game ... wow. I'd forgotten how many ways the Vikes blew that game.

 

I really do believe you're mistaken, or forgot the sarcasm font.

 

Yeah, I was also wondering whether it was a misplaced digit or a bitter Padres fan.

 

Or possibly a Cubs fan.

 

Whoops.

Good call, though. Remind me to ask you for next weekend's lottery numbers.

 

Misidentified sarcasm by a Cubs fan, is my guess. The Padres upset the applecart that year by blowing the national media's hopes for a Cubs-Tigers series.

As if the Cubs would have done any better against that buzzsaw of a Tigers team.
